And what exactly is wrong ?? i remember asking exactly this question about the dash configuration a few posts back and the feed back was conspicous by its total abscence. :confused: this is the best i can do after detailed study of probably hundreds of 2A dashes on the dozens of web sites and e...

part 2:D

well finally !!! let the pics do the talking .:cool:

yes Phantom Always!!!! mucked about a bit around the world though! including Blighty for a bit. Thanx Phantom, necessity is the mother of invention !!:D

Could find only one bumper tow ring in the godowns of Darjeeling so fabricated a copy and then printed out some mud flap logos. Drove a bit, even as small fixes and polishing continue, found problems with the brakes and one of the leaf springs needs to be tigthened. Hope to have her home by...

Sorry for the long hiatus, nothing much to report but the "small stuff", upholstery, indicator assembly refurbished. !! moving slowly but surely on the wiring !! and door trim. Once i got the original water temp, fuel gauge and oil warning to work the extra dash panel for PO fixed water temp...

Well, hard work continues through the night, its all the small stuff now, tried out a silver on the barbecue grill and re did the steering wheel and the dash. Removed the glow plug heater indication (which the PO had put into the dash leaving an ugly hole lower left) by riveting a sheet cutout...

today after some basic painting, put together some bits to see how she looks. How does she look then?? Is the all green body ok or should i make the side rear window panels and tail gate top also lime stone?/ Then we did some chequered plate for the tub next will be the cab floor and wing...

thanx twas a gr8 help !! Polly

Today we re-puttyed all the little nicks and blemishes on the paint , painted the roof and the seat box and did the tool box in the seat box the same lime stone as the roof. next for the wheels and steel cappings and bumpers!!:eek: Ive had a look at the Speedo its certainly an eddy current...

thanx folks, any inputs on the dash ?? pls:confused: Polly

Ok, today we put on the first coat on the basic body and then messed about with the speedometer to make it work, the lock on the freewheel had come off, put the gear box end of the cable into the mouth of a drill and ran it to check whether it works, the speedometer just moved to something like...

today we fixed the pot meter in the fuel gauge. the PO had shortened the float arm ??? simpler way to offset the instrument error of the new non stock gauge he had fitted. will have to get it right by trial and error. then we started on the Safari roof by rivetting the stifener supports...

We've finished priming and paint priming most of the body and assemblies, its very cold here and towards the evenings we light up a small wood fire to keep the layabouts warm. Even tried out an internal roll bar for size!! We then got a new T handled lock for the upper tailgate (liberated from...

WOW BOB thats a huge compliment coming from blighty, beyond my imagination and i really dont deserve it!! There are far more dedicated people than me out there struggling to bring their Landys upto speed and then keeping them there.:o Thanx anyway!! Its the kind words of encouragement by our...

guys i needed some help on the dash board and the gear lever. Isnt the lever supposed to be crooked near the top?? Or did straight ones also exist? is this the correct layout for the dash. Clearly the PO has put a plug heater glow indicator at lower left. What was there originally??Also the...

OOps forgot these pics, guess theyll make more sense about what we are doing ! Polly

Ok so we finally completely rebuilt a new tail board of sheet and used the original ribs and attachments. I think i will place some chequered anti skid sheets in between the ribs to prevent scuffing the paint work. Then we did the rear seats which will be traditional folding bench seats. the...
